▶ TDM .007
You awaken amidst the darkness with only a faint light to greet you. Your body is hemmed in by shards of crystals, gently sparkling and possibly pricking your skin. The surrounding landscape is dyed in the pinks and purples of the dusk filled with crystals protruding from the ground, some as large as a skyscraper. Even the few shy moon creatures you find in the wild have strange crystal growths on their hides. This is far from home— perhaps a dream? You pinch your skin and slap your cheeks, yet nothing seems to do the trick. Searching for answers yields nothing but an endless expanse of purple dust as far as the eye can see. You have four options: one, panic; two, soil yourself; three, admire it all then soil yourself; or four, go into survival mode. Eventually, you’ll realize that you’re not alone.
▶ Keep all Hands and Feet inside the Burning Vehicle at all Times
Iris Moon, Government Center (Arrival) and Outer Space | top
After a day or two of living off the crystal wilderness, a group of people find you worse for wear. They are the gallant Moon Knights from the planet of Prismatica. After the strange phenomenon during the past months when scientists observed the sudden appearance of rainbow crystals in the sky, the government has been feverishly combing through the moon for more Moonblessed to be rescued. You’ll eventually be brought into Iris’s moon government center.
You all may have your usual inquiries — Where are we? Who are you? What's going on? Why did I mix tequila with xanax last night? — and the Prismals are almost too eager to answer. They tell you about their world and about the first appearance of the Moonblessed as the medical staff give you an examination to make sure you’re not carrying any viruses or biological hazards. If you react violently, you may be restrained and nerfed with a specialized neurotransmitting gun that releases a numbing agent through the top of your spine. Once the examinations are over, you’re informed that you will be provided accommodations on their planet during your stay.
While waiting for transport to be prepared, you may freely roam around the government center. Eventually you’re called back from exploring, escorted to the docks, and led onto a large transport vessel that makes frequent trips back and forth between the moons and the planet. Faces onboard vary from both old and new Moonblessed as well as Prismal locals. The next destination: Prismatica.
Sparks can be seen overhead as more ship parts malfunction. This is a good time to hold your neighbor’s hand, say your last goodbyes, and apologize for that horrible thing you did in the sixth grade. Grip your seat with the might of every god you can think of.
▶ Jaws IV: Jaws Harder
Planet Prismatica, Outer Lunatia | top
The emergency landing successfully completes and the transport vessel will safely land on top of a gorgeous lake filled with tiny glaciers floating by. When reached out and touched, you’ll find out that the “glaciers” are surprisingly cool crystals and not ice.
The ship will be left hovering idly on the water surface while passengers are ferried to solid ground using portable emergency boats. However, civilization is still a distance away.
After surviving through so far, the Prismals guide everyone to a nearby encampment run by humanoid rabbits. They are tall, built, and have a habit of mentioning their virility an awkward amount of times. They are also generous and will share their game meat and fresh crops while allowing everyone to rest for the night at the only inn in their village.
The next day, the rabbits can be seen hacking away at some of the wilder-looking plants for an easier pathway. If you wake up early enough, you can ask some of them for a tour of the beautiful greenery. They mention that it’s thanks to the Moonblessed that their crops have been doing so well lately — the result of all the chroma influx. The rest of the journey to the city will be smooth sailing.

Faces onboard vary from both old and new Moonblessed as well as Prismal locals. The next destination: Prismatica.
A. After settling into the ship and selecting the current in-flight movie, Back Door Slugs 9, you and those around you may eventually feel a bit of turbulence during the movie’s highly anticipated climax. Did anyone notice it, or is everyone too focused on the hot characters?
At first, it’s a small jitter that’s easy to miss or brush off. But as the transport vessel travels on, the shaking progressively escalates to erratic tremors strong enough to cause severe nausea. A minute later, a voice over the speaker announces the ship will have to make an emergency landing, citing technical difficulties.
Sparks can be seen overhead as more ship parts malfunction. This is a good time to hold your neighbor’s hand, say your last goodbyes, and apologize for that horrible thing you did in the sixth grade. Grip your seat with the might of every god you can think of.
B. Another minute later, a follow-up announcement states that external entities have breached the transport vessel. Everyone is warned to be careful and watch out for each other. Small fires will have to be put out before they worsen with either magic or emergency equipment onboard such as extinguishers. In-flight robotic attendants will be scuttling around to perform immediate repairs.
Eventually, an entire power panel bursts, and prismatic jellyfish unnaturally spill out. The jellyfish will try to latch and suction onto any technological devices close by such as the television screens on the seats or communicators and will show preference to Iris Moonblessed over the rest. Be ready to help and pull numerous jellyfish off both the faces of Moonblessed and Prismals!

A. You’ve probably heard of flying sharks from a veteran Moonblessed. But how about sea lions? These aquatic lions are born with scaly skin and gills outside of their crystallized manes. Unfortunately, they haven’t tasted fresh meat in quite some time. If there are any injured onboard or near your boat, the chances of the sea lions detecting people will be higher as they are drawn to the scent of blood. Growling hungrily, they will be quick to latch onto the boats, biting the edges, and trying to knock everyone overboard for dinner.

B. There is no running water all the way out here, so if anyone wants a bath, they’ll have to do it traditionally. The village protects a natural spring, which is a good place to bathe away the sea water. Around the spring, the rabbit folk’s friends — little scintilla chinchillas — will shock away any predators that dare to approach their sanctuary! Be at ease and feel free to offer your friends shampoo massages.

Welcome to Prismatica’s hub, Lunatia, the city of your dreams! A bustling metropolis lush with bright lights, vibrant colors, luxuriant plant life, and all the conveniences of technology absent from your own world… It seems like paradise to all the uninitiated. After a quick tour of the city, new arrivals can find themselves getting cozy in their new homes.
A. Find new roommates and say hello to your neighbors! City officials will give you directions to the designated districts across Level 2 and instruct you to pick out a unit. Each apartment complex has a different aesthetic, some may look cozy, some stylish, and some bizarre. The free accommodations have a basic living space that can only fit two or three people at most in one unit.
Starter Chromaspace furnishings are provided which can be controlled with the touch of a built-in panel. Examples are color-changing curtains, transforming sofa beds, cabinets turning into tables, etc. Customizing your apartment or moving out will have to wait until you earn more chroma. Until then, why don’t you check out your new neighborhood or explore the city levels? Maybe your new roommates or neighbors can give you a “hand” with allowance for dinner.
B. A new high-end boutique, Prissy Polyp, has opened in Level 2. As compensation for what happened, both Moonblessed and Prismals that were affected in yesterday’s flight will receive 50% off their total purchase. Those unaffected will receive 30% discount coupons as a promotional gift. All are encouraged to visit with their friends or special someone, try on some things together,enjoy each other in the fitting rooms, and deal with the loud, ear-blistering background pop music.
Their clothing collections are characterized by bright iridescent designs, some features such as design patterns may glow ethereally in the dark. One of their signature dresses features a one piece (also available on their trench coats) that can amplify the appearance of one’s decolletage, gluteal muscles, and/or bulge with the press of a neon button. Another item among their collection is the maiden sweater: a sleek, backless sweater that shocks those who attempt unwanted touches. Others include skin-tight leggings (also available on their shorts or pants) which produce pleasant and relaxing vibrations on all lower extremities and fashionable polyp-shaped hats for all kinds of people. It’s a huge shop, you never know what else to find in there.

Be careful around Cordises, too. They have pheromones that make it hard to concentrate on anything but them. So I mean, if you end up Cordis, you're probably.. what are you looking at-
[ She turns around, then sees her butt. God, her butt is too.. stand-out for this sweater, so it's barely covering anything. She puts her hands right back immediately. ]
Okay, I'm going to change and we can keep talking after.
no subject
[ Said very enthusiastically, because while it's definitely a nice sight for him it also isn't normal, and a good dose of normal is really what he'd like right about now. Well, their brand of normal, anyway.
Whenever she closes the door he'll fold his arms to lean against the wall next to it, piping up a second later: ]
... What's a "pheromone" anyway?
[ This boy don't read no books okay ]
no subject
Emerald may not be a genius but she's been here longer than Mercury has, so she's had plenty of time to look this crap up at least well enough to know what she might've been in for. Cordis, if anything, was the one she kind of wanted to be. ]
A pheromone is like cologne, except it comes from some animals' bodies. Humans don't normally have it, but those aligned with Cordis do. It actually makes people think you're sexy even if they're annoyed with you, instead of just causing peoples' allergies to flare up.
no subject
...
I feel like that's gonna lead to a lot of awkward morning afters.
no subject
no subject
no subject
[ This is very easy to talk about while she's behind the door since he can't make fun of her for being embarrassed. But it's Mercury so she's gonna tell him things. ]
Plus, twice a month I can punch someone and blame it on a moon.
no subject
[ She does seem overall a bit more relaxed - even her punch in the arm didn't feel as aggressive as it usually was. Maybe getting some action worked wonders. ]
--Just so I know, though - it sounds like you got here before me, again. How long've you been here already?
no subject
She finally comes out with a bunch of clothes over her arm. She's wearing her usual outfit that she's apparently been wearing for like the last 4 years or so, whatever. If anything, that probably answers his question more than anything she could say. She has money and can afford to buy clothing!! And not just the maiden sweater! ]
I don't know, like a month and a couple weeks? Not very long.
no subject
[ Will they world-jump again? Technically he doesn't know that, but this is twice that it's happened now. There's no reason not to assume it might happen again. And honestly?
He's kind of fine with that.
Sure he has his gripes - the stuff these worlds do to their heads is a pain, to say the least - but at least within these worlds he's been able to do his thing and not have to really listen to anyone else. Plus, skipping from one reality to another? That keeps things fresh, and he hates being bored. ]
What do you think the next gimmick will be? My money's on the world itself having a mind of its own. Like, we're stuck on a talking island, or something.
no subject
[ She's teasing. ] Maybe we'll go to a library world where everyone has to whisper all the time or you get to throw books at them.
[ She and Mercury can be book police so they can get away with it. ] Weren't you going to try something on?
no subject
[ --Ah, right! He got caught up in the chitchat and totally forgot about the clothes that are literally in his hands. Right.
Right.
He moves to sidestep Emerald so he can wander into the dressing room, glancing over his shoulder to offer a wink. ]
You're free to spectate if you want. I'm not shy.
no subject
[ She shuts the dressing room door on him in response to his offer. ]
Do you even have any chroma to buy that?
no subject
[ Did you really think he was considering a legal transaction here--
In any event he starts to get changed, working on his shirt first. I definitely, totally have an outfit in mind that he's changing into and I'm not furiously searching google for options right now. ]
Or I can ask my rich friend to cover the bill for me.
no subject
[ piggy back ride to the register. ]
no subject
Out here, in public? You've grown so shameless in my absence! Oh, where did I go wrong with you?
no subject
no subject
[ He's confident that once upon a time if he tried to pick her up she would full-on slap his face inside-out. They grow up so fast... ]
Easy enough. As long as you haven't gained weight, I mean. I'm only human.
no subject
You need chroma, and it's way less awkward than hugging, cuddling, or hand-holding. Since I'm definitely not signing up to be your sugar-daddy, I'm going to piggy-back ride you.
[ She's definitely on the fence about the listed three. Not even because she's worried about him getting handsy that's just...
...not a barrier they should probably cross. Even moreso with how Akashi gets about Mercury. ]
no subject
no subject
[ So she's less vulnerable, basically. Somehow it's less intimate. She doesn't know how, she doesn't have to make sense. ]
no subject
[ He still thinks her reasoning is pretty... bad, but he also doesn't really care. Not caring is what Mercury does best. ]
But fine, whatever, it's a deal. Damnit, I think these pants are too small.
no subject
[ She's just going to dismiss it because she has no idea why it makes sense to her, but she's pretty sure it does. ]
Handholding is kind of.. how Sei and Chihiro and I got together. Because of handholding. I'll spare you the details so you don't have to gag about it, but they'd get weird about it if I held your hand.
[ So, there. No handholding. She holds her hand over the top of the door. ]
Here, hand them to me. I'll go find the next size up while you try on whatever else you've got.
no subject
But he can't reveal that, so: ]
Gross.
[ That'll do.
After a moment's silence, the shuffling of fabric, she'll have the pants handed to her from over the door. They're black (surprise!!) but rather than the duller shade of blue that his usual pair is accented by, these ones have some accents in a bright, almost vibrant yellow. Trying to switch it up, here. ]
Don't keep me waiting too long. You know I hate waiting.
no subject
I know. Keep trying on whatever else you've got in there.
[ She takes the pants and goes off to ask the store clerk to find them for her. She wasn't hanging out in the mens' sections, she doesn't know where they are so that's the fastest way for her to find them.
She ends up coming back with that pair with one size up, another pair of pants that's just plain, and one of the trench coats with the neon buttons. Look, she wants a good laugh out of it. ]
